When I test on localhost the email sends successfully and gets delivered.
When I test online it throws the following error: Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
I tried to remove $mail->IsSMTP(); as mentioned in one of the suggestions. The scripts runs online and returns true but the email never gets delivered.
I have the following code to send an email with phpMailer. What I don't understand is why the email is sent and everything is OK even if I use a wrong password. In that case, the headers of the email give this answer (adapted from real case): X-PHP-Originating-Script: 532:class.phpmailer.php
How can I force the login error to appear and avoid the email being sent anyway? I guess that this has something to do with the class using other methods after trying to connect to the SMTP server. I don't want the email to be sent in ALL cases, if the password has changed or service not available, I want to know it and the script to stop and throw error. I use the latest available version of the class.
require 'phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php';
$to = "someone-email#example.com";
$subject = "Hello World";
$body = "HELLO WORLD";
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->Host = "mail.example.com";
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "example#example.com";
$mail->Password = "**********";
$mail->From = "example#example.com";
$mail->FromName = "TEST";
$mail->AddReplyTo($to);
$mail->addAddress($to);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "KO " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
}
else
{
echo "OK";
return true;
}
You aren't using SMTP so I guess it's defaulting to mail(), which doesn't accept authentication.
To enable SMTP:
$mail->IsSMTP();
Instead of using php's mail() function, I've been trying to set up PHPMailer with no success. I put in "echo here" for debugging purposes, and that is all it shows. I do not get any emails, or the sent or error messages. I'm stumped, and after researching it on here may switch to swift mailer. I'd really like to know what I screwed up though.
In my code, address is set to my email, and the username and password are set to a dummy account I made.
<?php
include('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$address = "test#gmail.com";
$body = "test email";
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "username#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SetFrom('name#yourdomain.com', 'Web App');
$mail->Subject = "A Transactional Email From Web App";
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress($address, $name);
echo "Here";
if($mail->Send()) {
echo "Message sent!";
}
else {
echo "Mailer Error: " ; $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
As you are using Gmail I think you must make sure the gmail account has the insecure application auth activated
I want to send email to users who click on forgot password link on my website from no-reply#mycompanmysname.com.
I am able to send mail through my companys mail server but I do not want my companys email address to be displayed.
Can anybody suggest how is that done?
I am using phpmailer and this is my code:
$from = "companyname#yahoo.com";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = $messageBody;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; //added
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Host = "smtp server name";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "********";
$mail->Password = "******";
$mail->From("$name");
//$mail->SetFrom("$from");
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress("$toEmail");
$mail->Subject = "".$subject."";$mail->Body = $headers . "<br>" . $messageBody . "<br>" . $confidential;
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->MsgHTML($mail->Body);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
//echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
print "<p class='Error'>Error in sending email.Please try again.</p>";
} else {
print "<p class='success'>An email is sent to you with the access information.</p>";
}
Taking an example from their docs, you can do something like this:
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('from#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
$mail->addReplyTo('replyto#example.com', 'First Last');
From personal experience, you can do this and it works, but in some mail clients, such as Gmail, you'll get something along the lines of From: email#website.com via otherdomain.com. I'm not sure if there's a way outside of this other than adding some DNS settings. Not sure if you have access to that.
I am rather puzzled with this one.
//SMTP servers details
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "mail.hostserver.com";
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
$mail->Username = $myEmail; // SMTP usr

$mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
$mail->From = $patrickEmail;
$mail->FromName = "***";
$mail->AddAddress($email, $firstName . " " . $lastName);
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML(true);

The first email sends fine. The second one doesn't. What could be the reason for that behavior? Am I missing some kind of reset?
Update: using a different mail server seems to work so apparently it's a setting of that specific mail server causing problems. Any idea what that could be?
Some providers impose restrictions on the number of messages that can be sent within a specific time span. To determine if your problem depends by a provider "rate limit", you should try to add a pause after the first send. For example:
if ($mail->Send()) {
sleep(10); // Seconds
...
if ($mail->Send()) {
...
}
}
Then, by progressively lowering the sleep time, you should be able to determine which is the rate limit.
Try this:
As #Felipe Alameda A mentioned Remove $mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
// for every mail
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo 'There was a problem sending this mail!';
}
else
{
echo 'Mail sent!';
}
$mail->SmtpClose();
IMHO you need to create new PHPMailer object for every sent email. If you want to share some common setup, use something like this:
$mail = new PHPMailer();
/* Configure common settings */
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
$mail2 = clone $mail;
$mail2->MsgHTML("Dear ".$row["fname"].",<br>".$cbody);
$mail2->AddAddress($row["email"], $row["fname"]);
$mail2->send();
}
I think your problem is $mail->SMTPAuth = false;
It is hard to believe there are ISP or SMTP providers that don't require authentication, even if they are free.
You may try this to check for errors instead of or in addition to checking for send() true:
if ( $mail->IsError() ) { //
echo ERROR;
}
else {
echo NO ERRORS;
}
//Try adding this too, for debugging:
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information
Everything else in your code looks fine. We use PHPMailer a lot and never had any problems with it
The key may lie in the parts you have omitted. Is the domain of the sender of both emails the same? Otherwise the SMTP host may see this as a relay attempt. If you have access to the SMTP server logs, check these; they might offer a clue.
Also, check what $mail->ErrorInfo says... it might tell you what the problem is.
i personally would try to make small steps like sending same email.. so just clear recipients and try to send identical email (this code works for me). If this code passes you can continue to adding back your previous lines and debug where it fails
and maybe $mail->ClearCustomHeaders(); doing problems
//SMTP servers details
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "mail.hostserver.com";
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
$mail->Username = $myEmail; // SMTP usr
$mail->Password = "****"; // SMTP pass
$mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
$mail->From = $patrickEmail;
$mail->FromName = "***";
$mail->AddAddress($email, $firstName . " " . $lastName);
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $client_subject;
$mail->Body = $client_msg;
// all above is copied
if($mail->Send()) {
sleep(5);
$mail->ClearAllRecipients();
$mail->AddAddress('another#email.com'); //some another email
}
...
Try with the following example.,
<?php
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');
require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "yourname#yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // SMTP account password
$mail->SetFrom('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo("name#yourdomain.com","First Last");
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address1 = "whoto#otherdomain.com";
$address2 = "whoto#otherdomain.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address1, "John Doe");
$mail->AddAddress($address2, "John Peter");
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment if any
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment if any
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
Note : Better you can make a multiple user email and name as an ARRAY, like
<?php
$recipients = array(
'person1#domain.com' => 'Person One',
'person2#domain.com' => 'Person Two',
// ..
);
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
$mail->AddCC($email, $name);
}
(or)
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
$mail->AddAddress($email, $name);
}
?>
i think this may help you to resolve your problem.
I think you've got organizational problems here.
I recommend:
Set your settings (SMTP, user, pass)
Create new email object with info from an array holding messages and to addresses
Send email
Goto step 2
